Blueberry Biscuit/Muffins

Written By: Chris - Mar• 17•14

I like to buy blueberry’s in bulk fresh from Costco when the prices are fair. They are pretty large packages, so if they start to look like they may have reached the end of their freshness, or if we haven’t used the entire batch up before leaving for travels, I like to toss them into a zip lock baggie and store them in the freezer java downloaden windows. I then use them later in smoothies, pancakes or in muffins. In terms of U.S. fruit consumption, blueberries rank only second to strawberries in popularity of berries windows 10 defender herunterladen. Blueberries are not only popular, but also repeatedly ranked in the U.S. diet as having one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings play for free to download. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA. Flavors of blueberry’s range from mildly sweet (cultivated) to tart and tangy (wild) and are little nutritional gems bursting with flavor and are very low in calories herunterladen.

As with most dishes that I prepare, I looked at a few recipes on line and worked with what I had on hand to create my own version. Although these are muffins, they actually tasted a bit like biscuits and that’s a good thing ältere version von osmand herunterladen!

Ingredients:

4 Cups Flour
4 Tablespoons Baking Soda
1 Cup Sugar
dash of Salt
2 Stick Butter, melted
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
3 cup Blueberries
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease either a pan of mini-muffin cups or 12 large size muffins; whereas I would recommend paper liners Download anydesk german.

In one bowl, mix butter, eggs, milks, salt and vanilla Download bluetooth voor pc for free. Mix on low speed until blended and then add sugar. In another bowl, sift together flour and soda. With a spoon, gently fold in the flour mixture whatsapp videos for free.

Fold in blueberries being careful not to mash them bilder ohne wasserzeichen downloaden.

Spoon into muffin cups and bake for ten minutes outlook 2019 alle mails herunterladen.

Sprinkle brown sugar on top of each muffin and bake an additional 15 minues, until golden brown and springy to touch.

Allow to cool and gently remove from pan with a fork. I prepared these for a company function along with some other goodies for a brunch!

Enjoy!
Cheers!

They sort of remind me of pumpkins and baked potatoes mixed together, but none the less added a great unique flavor balance to this dish 187 strassenbande kostenlos downloaden!

Quinoa, Beet and Arugula Salad

Written By: Chris - Mar• 06•14

We’ve been eating more and more Quinoa lately. You can find it in your local supermarket, but if not look for it at natural foods stores who usually carry it Download sports pictures for free. It is available in prepackaged containers as well as bulk bins. The most common type of quinoa has an off-white color but red and black varieties are becoming more available wo kann ich wow classic herunterladen. The red has a slightly earthier flavor then the white and once cooked, it has a light brownish color.

You can substitute rice in any dish with quinoa, but understand that it is not a grain microsoft foto. Although we cook and eat quinoa like many other grains, botanically speaking, it’s a relative of spinach, beets and chard and the actual part that we eat is the seed itunes alle songs downloaden. It has more than twice the amount of protein than rice and has been called the complete protein. It contains all nine of the essential amino acids, which cannot be made by the body and therefore must come from food and it is a good source of fiber and is easy to digest herunterladen.

You should store quinoa in an airtight container where it will keep for a longer period of time, approximately three to six months, if stored in the refrigerator youtube videos online downloaden.

1 Cup Red Quinoa (may use white)
2 Cups Chicken Stock

1/2 Cup Candied Nuts
1/3 Cup Dried Blueberries
1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
1/2 Lemon Zest
1 Cup Soft Goat Cheese, crumbled (or feta)

To cook the quinoa, add one part of the grain to two parts liquid in a saucepan kann im microsoft store nicht downloaden. After the mixture is brought to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and cover.

When cooking is complete, you will notice that the grains have become somewhat translucent.

Once the liquid has been absorbed, allow to sit for about five minutes and fuff with a fork. As soon as you have fluffed the hot quinoa, add half of the dressing to it and toss to evenly distribute it. Reserve remaining dressing and place quinoa covered in the refrigerator until cool, at least an hour.

Mean while, chop the vegetables and add the lime zest and remaining dressing to the arugula.
